Friends is back on tv again and I’m watching it again and still laughing at it.

Back on the Grid with Pitlane Paul
YouTube video by Dirty Side of the Track - F1 podcast Back on the Grid with Pitlane Paul

Well 2026 is up and running for us as we launch season 5.
We kick things off with a chat with Paul to get an insight into what it’s like for Valtteri to be back as a driver and what it takes to launch an F1 team.
Oh, we decided to lean into YouTube as well finally πŸ˜‰

We’re also launching on YouTube this year so you can now watch old guys talk about F1 rather than just listen πŸ˜‚
Thanks for all the support & looking forward to this season!

We recorded with Pitlane Paul today & got his insights into how different it is for him & Valtteri to be preparing for a new season but now back as a driver rather than a reserve. He also gave us a view into the massive undertaking at Cadillac in terms of what it takes to put a car on the grid.

Another round of DRS (DirtySide Revisited Series) as we take another listen to the time we had a WORLD CHAMPION on our pokey little pod!
Yup, it's the time we chatted to Jacques Villeneuve!
Link to pod in bio.

The final door opens and it really could only be one thing.
Lando Norris becomes the 35th driver to win the #F1 WDC
Now, where did we put our musical animated version of this countdown....

Opening day 23 takes us back to a second podium of the season Sainz, sealed, and delivered in Qatar.
It was the first time since 2015 that a Williams driver has secured multiple podium finishes in a single season.
Vamos!

Day 22 and there are sparks flying in Vegas!
Maybe a few too many for the McLaren boys it seemed as they both got a DSQ on their season stats.
We also had the tinfoil hat theory about illegal skid block heaters πŸ˜‚

So, you thought DRS was gone?
Well, we are gonna take a couple weeks off from recording to enjoy holidays with our families.
We are both picking an episode from our back catalog and dusting them off for another airing.
This week it's Brian's pick and he went for this one....

Day 21 gives us a triple whammy!
Lando takes another stride towards WDC, Kimi gets another podium, and Max drives from the pitlane to claim the third step!
Day 22 is gonna take us back to Vegas and don't know what that will be about as don't remember anything of note happening...

Opening day 20 gives us another two for one like yesterday.
A Lando win in Mexico meant the first McLaren win there since 1989 and also the first time he led the F1 WDC since the very early rounds (Think since Bahrain).

It's day 19 and a two for one. First up, the amazing COTA trophies that used two versions of the track layout to create a skull on which those horns were placed. So cool!
Holding the trophy we have Max as he won both the sprint & the race to pull himself further into contention in the WDC.

Day 18 is the Singapore GP and a flashback to McLaren securing the WCC for the second year in a row.
Now there was just the small matter of the WDC to sort out and of course that would not feature a battle between anyone but the Papaya boys right?

Day 17 and we revisit a record breaking Baku weekend!
Maybe not the F1 record they wanted to set but qualifying had six red flags!
There were three red flags in Q1, one in Q2 and two in Q3.

OK McLaren fans, you knew this one was coming!
Day 16 and we go back to Monza and THAT swap.
It's all water under the bridge now though right.....right?

Day 15 takes us back to the Dutch GP where everyone just seemed to want to crash. Across practice and the race there were multiple incidents as conditions proved a little on the tricky side!
See Lando fans, we didn't even mention the oil leak that caused his DNF!
